IDS-PM with future email alerting functionality?

[skeetin44]

Hello,

I realize that IDS-Policy Manager does not come with email alerting. For this functionality I would need VMS or CSPM 2.3i...

Would anybody from the IDS product team, (or Cisco in general), know if email alerting is in the works, for future versions of IDS-Policy Manager?

I have been using CSPM for e-mail alerting for IDS events and it seems to be working great. Are you having probllems setting up the same? You could refer to the document "Configuring E-mail Notifications for Cisco Secure IDS Events in CSPM" at the url http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2133/products_tech_note09186a0080093d71.shtml.

You could also take a look at the documant "Guidelines for Passing IDS Alarm Data to Notification Events" at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2133/products_user_guide_chapter09186a00800d9c8c.html#xtocid99276

Thanks for the reply, but I was looking for information on the new IDS Policy Manager, not existing Cisco Secure Policy Manager.

Since my post, my local Cisco Rep has advised that IDS Policy Manager email alerting functionality isn't on the road map, anytime soon.
